Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[SPIDERBOY]

Sagna was coming to the end of his contract and able to speak to clubs.

If I am not mistaken, players are allowed to talk to other clubs when they are in their last 6 months of their contract.

So wont apply to sterling

Sterling has 2 years left.

Is there not a different rule for U21s can they talk to other clubs in their final year, honestly don't know just asking the question as another poster mentioned sterling was only going to buy out a year of his contract leaving him in his final year...

Obviously somebody's already tapped this guy up .... Do we do business like that?? According to rumours we did with Sagna

All the big clubs in Europe have tapped players up for years,it's nothing unusual.
Apart from the rags of course,all their players come through their academy,as we know.

No sh*t .... congratulation Bamba on stating what everybody is aware of 'All the big clubs in Europe have tapped players up for years' not condescending at all ......

I think I remember Whenger making some snide comment that Sagna wouldn't sign a new contract because he'd spoken to us. In true Whenger fashion he forgot to mention that (as others on here have said) he could speak to anyone he liked and sign pre-contract agreements if he wanted to from the 1st of January. So no, we didn't "tap him up".

If we're not we bloody well ought to be. As you said every other team does it. I'm so fucking sick of Chelsea getting top players quickly and efficiently while we seem to procrastinate and fuck around only to end up with someone pretty fucking average at the end of it all. This season has shown we need to develop a ruthless streak, tread on some toes, pay off some dodgy agents and gazump some other teams 'nailed on' signings. Fuck everyone, we are City. Get fucking Bale, Pogba, Sterling, De Bruyne and wind up dickwad Mourinho through the media, let him make a prick of himself under pressure. Those cockney wankers have had it far too easy this season.

I thought it was only foreign clubs could speak to in last 6 months?

Really? That's a bit of a restriction of trade isn't it?

Even if that's the rules I doubt the players and other interested club abide by them, there will always be some sort of loophole.

I am hoping we can get Sterling in as one of our first signings.

 

[B3nStr0ng]

My understanding is they can talk to anyone from any club from January 1st. They can sign with any team not in the same league as their current team from January 1st but cannot sign for a team in the same league until their current contract runs out.

So in theory Milner could Sign a pre contract with Inter now but couldn't do that with Arsenal/ Liverpool.

I may be wrong but I'm sure I've read that somewhere.
